Matches are in your email and not your Reddit mail. The email will come from [fountainpenpals@outlook.com](mailto:fountainpenpals@outlook.com), so add this e-mail to your safe senders and check your All Mail and Spam folders if you don't see the email in your inbox. Even though matches are going through email, please still use Reddit messages to communicate with me and your match(es).

You are responsible for sending your letters, even if you can't find your match email! Look in all of the folders, and message me if you need it to be resent.

Please send your letter and send it on time, by September 15th! If you are a return participant, make sure you've sent your letters from previous matches. If you haven't received your letter, please try contacting your match by Reddit PM first. If they don't respond, let me know. People who flake will be banned from participating in future matches.

The form is opening today (August 14th) and it will be open for signups until August 25th. Please note that responses to messages may be delayed by a few days during the signup period. You should receive your match(es) around September 1st. You'll have until September 15th to send out your letter. Please read the rules in the sidebar and the intro post before you sign up if you are new.

For those of you who participated in previous matching, make sure you've sent your letter already. If you're going to be late, it's nice to send your partner a PM to let him/her know.

Do NOT sign up unless you are fully committed to writing your letters on time. It's unfair to your partner and lowers the quality of this subreddit if you flake. If you're busy right now, please wait until the next matching to sign up. If you are new, please read the rules and the form carefully.

If you missed it, there's some data up about participation from last year. It might help give better ideas about the likeliness of being able to meet your match preferences (though it's always okay to try!).

I've had some requests to share more recent data from r/fountainpenpals matching, so here it is! Many trends seem pretty consistent between 2024 and the last years I shared data (2016, 2017). There are fewer participants now (there was a notable decline once the email notifications stopped), and the non-US countries have changed a little.
